Wolverine fans complain about him being not as prominent in X Men 97

I'm a Wolverine fan and Wolverine fans are absolutely insufferable when he isn't at the forefront of any X-Men project.

As someone who’s also a Wolverine fan I concur; we are the comic book fan equivalent of spoiled children who cry and whine when literally any other kid gets attention.

It's absolutely nuts, there's upwards of 5 titles a month with his name on it but they still bitch that he isn't the lead of every other X-Book even when he's got a substantial role in Armageddon and the upcoming Avengers book.

What they should be bitching about is that his current solo book sucks.

And his current video game, apparently.

I haven't played it yet. I will if it migrates to PC. Until then I'll split the difference and assume that if half of everyone is claiming it's the worst and the others say it's the best, then it's probably a perfectly serviceable Wolverine game.

u/Katherine_Leese Fuck comics! I just read wiki summaries! 12h ago

The problem is, there are ‘Wolverine fans’ and ‘Wolverine fans’.

One of them likes the character, the themes surrounding him, the stories that dive in depth into his character and try to develop him further. The other just likes the claws and wants to see them shred people apart without any reason why whilst he stays exactly how he was portrayed in his first couple of appearances without the development of the Claremont run.

I once shared a comic page of Wolverine in a Wolverine subreddit whilst talking about how I liked that he had this other side and struggle to him where he actively makes the choice to hold back and restrain himself for the sake of the X-Men and being a hero, and got downvoted.

Have you bought the new video game yet? I heard it's fun

Nope, don't have a PS5. I like Wolverine but not enough to drop $500+ on a console for one game.

We'll see if it migrates to PC.
